August 27, 200916 yr I wonder why no one linked to it yet? Or did I miss something? Anyways, stuff about shocktrap, PDA and men's bathroom...? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
August 27, 200916 yr I've always found twitter ridiculous, so this is the perfect use for it. Avellone's actually writing it, so there's that. I haven't posted it yet because I've been waiting for it to get a few posts up there. But yeah, hopefully it will get updated every day between now and launch. Hope you guys find it enjoyable.

August 27, 200916 yr thats hilarious. Ive found my new source of entertainment until this comes out. build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day, but set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
August 27, 200916 yr Author Avellone is writing it? Stop wasting this man's talent, damnit! Wait, make that three - turns out "Lindsey" is actually a man. Adding a sort field for gender to the PDA list for safety. Shouldn't have, but I went in and fixed some instances of "Thornton" to "Thorton" in my service record. Get it right, guys.

August 27, 200916 yr He didn't like me asking if Yancy was really his first name. He said my first name must be "smartass." "Beats Yancy," I said. Not wise. I loved that. Can't wait for more. build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day, but set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

August 27, 200916 yr This almost made me want to start a twitter account. Almost....but still holding off. I think this a great idea, keep up the good work.
August 27, 200916 yr Some look like used car lots, others like something from "Cube." Yeah, I wonder if I'm the only one who saw that movie.2:48 PM Aug 22nd from web I saw it the more i see of these kinds of things leading up to the release, the happier i am that i've pre-ordered. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
August 27, 200916 yr This almost made me want to start a twitter account. Almost....but still holding off. I think this a great idea, keep up the good work. No need for a Twitter account. You can just read it on the Twitter site as linked above or use the rss feed which has the full texts so no no need to go the the Twitter site. BTW: I'm really loving the the 'story', the shock trap pranking and everything. I'm wondering if this will go on till launch if it will go beyond the Alpha Protocol building. I don't think I'd want to get spoilers about the missions this way. Edited August 27, 200916 yr by Corran
August 27, 200916 yr He didn't like me asking if Yancy was really his first name. He said my first name must be "smartass." "Beats Yancy," I said. Not wise. I loved that. Can't wait for more. Heh. The character I'm playing through Bloodlines with right now is named "Yancey." I like giving my character silly sounding names (full name: Yancey Cogwhistle), if just to picture the NPCs struggling to say it with a straight face.
August 27, 200916 yr It would be cool if there were a few different Thortons twittering. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
August 27, 200916 yr Hmm, interesting concept. I like it. Let me get back to sleeping. I'm tired... Avatar made by Jorian Drake

August 30, 200916 yr Author On the bright side, some ass named Darcy is using Admin/12345678 for his login, so re-setting the encryption from *his* account = easy. These are great.

August 31, 200916 yr I'm really loving the Tweets. Every day I look forward to reading them. Because of them I've now decided to post my first playthrough of the game on here in that style. Edited August 31, 200916 yr by Corran
